SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Flow metrics makes it easy to measure delivery performance across Jira work without hand-calculating changelogs, spreadsheets, or ad hoc reports. It turns raw issue history into consistent cycle time, lead time, throughput, WIP, and flow efficiency answers you can trust.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project and program rollups: Analyze a Jira project, sub-team, Jira Align program, or portfolio with the same metric model.
  • DORA and Flow Framework outputs: Compute cycle time, lead time, throughput, WIP, flow load, rework rate, flow distribution, and defect ratio.
  • Read-only safety and reproducible output: Uses Jira and Jira Align only for permitted reads, then emits canonical JSON, CSV, or per-issue JSONL for downstream analysis.
  • Use case: Ask it to compare a team’s delivery performance before and after an AI-assisted workflow rollout and get a clean metric split for decision-making.

Quick Start

Use the flow-metrics skill to calculate cycle time, throughput, and WIP for project PROJ over the last 90 days.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate Jira flow metrics like cycle time and throughput from issue changelogs?

To calculate Jira flow metrics, you can use this Skill to process issue changelogs and compute cycle time, lead time, throughput, WIP, and flow efficiency. It reads directly from Jira and Jira Align to generate consistent delivery performance measurements.

Can I compute DORA metrics for a Jira Align program without writing changes back to Jira?

Yes, you can compute DORA-style and flow metrics for Jira Align programs strictly through read-only Jira access. The Skill ensures reproducible output in JSON, CSV, or per-issue JSONL formats without writing any data back to Jira.

What Jira scopes are supported for measuring flow load and flow distribution?

Supported scopes for measuring flow load and flow distribution include individual Jira projects, sub-teams, Jira Align programs, and portfolios. This allows you to analyze delivery performance across multiple organizational levels using a single metric model.

How do I analyze a team's cycle time before and after a workflow change?

You can analyze a team's cycle time before and after a workflow change by configuring the Skill to calculate metrics over a specific date range, such as the last 90 days. It outputs clean metric splits from Jira changelogs to support decision-making.

Do I need specific Jira permissions to extract rework rate and defect ratio data?

You need read-only upstream access to Jira and Jira Align, along with changelog pagination enabled, to extract rework rate and defect ratio data. State and issuetype configurations are also required to accurately parse the issue history.

What output formats are available when exporting Jira WIP and flow efficiency data?

Available output formats for exporting Jira WIP and flow efficiency data include canonical JSON, CSV, and per-issue JSONL. These formats ensure the extracted flow metrics are structured and ready for downstream analysis.
